What: Nanotechnology

Nanotechnology is the understanding and control of matter at dimensions of roughly 1 to 100 nanometers, where unique phenomena enable novel applications.

1 nanometer = 1 billionth of a meter= 1 x 10-9 m

How small are nanostructures?

Width = 0.1 mm

= 100 micrometers

= 100,000 nanometers !

• Thermal Imprint Lithography

– Emboss pattern into thermoplastic or thermoset with heating

• UV-Assisted Imprint Lithography

– Curing polymer while in contact with hard, transparent mold

Page 20: Nanotechnology What, How, Why? NSTA, Indianapolis, April 11, 2013

Limits of Lithography

• Complex devices need to be patterned several times

Takes time and is expensive

• Limited by wavelength of light

Deep UV ~ 30nm features

• Can use electrons instead

1nm features possible

MUCH slower than optical IBM - Copper Wiring

Why: Applications

Page 22: Nanotechnology What, How, Why? NSTA, Indianapolis, April 11, 2013

Why do we want to make things at the nanoscale?

• To make better products: smaller, cheaper, faster and more effective. (Electronics, catalysts, water purification, solar cells, coatings, medical diagnostics & therapy, and more -- a sustainable future!)

• To discover completely new physical phenomena to science and technology. (Quantum behavior and other effects.)

Page 23: Nanotechnology What, How, Why? NSTA, Indianapolis, April 11, 2013

Since the 1980's electronics has been a leading commercial driver for nanotechnology R&D, but other areas (materials, biotech, energy, and others) are of significant and growing importance.

Some applications of nanotechnology have been around for a very long time already:• Stained glass windows (Venice, Italy) - gold nanoparticles• Photographic film - silver nanoparticles• Tires - carbon black nanoparticles• Catalytic converters - nanoscale coatings of platinum and palladium

Applications of Nanotechnology

Nanomanufacturing

• Processes must work at a commercially relevant scale• Cost is a key factor• Must be reproducible and reliable• EHS under control• Nanomanufacturing includes top-down and bottom-up techniques, and integration of both• Must form part of a value chain

targeted therapy: hyperthermic treatment

Nanoshells are coated with a substance that binds them to cancer cells. Absorb IR and destroy cancer cells with heat; no harm to healthy cells

More Applications

• Sunscreens with nanoparticles to block UVA– Earlier sunscreens only block UVB; UVA and

UVB both cause cancer• Water purification with nanofilters• http://nanosense.org/ - sunscreen and nanofilters

• Stain resistant fabrics

• Better Kelvar bullet proof vests

Cooperation and Collaboration Across Professions Makes It Happen

Cooperation of academia, industry, and government to advance science and technology

Example: America Competes Act (Dec. 2010)

- Nanotechnology and Education play key roles

Example: American Manufacturing Partnership (June 2011)

- Nanotechnology and Education play key roles

Education + Science + Engineering + Business + Policy + More
